Can someone please describe the premed training they got (are getting) at Berkeley?

Berkeley's rough man. If you want an inflated GPA, go elsewhere.

Berkeley's pre med training is kick ass cuz it has the #1 Graduate School Chemistry program 🙄

I'm doing chemical engineering as my premed major, and I have to say Berkeley is excellent for this. If you haven't gotten in to college yet, you still have a lot of time to pick your major, and I would recommend doing research on your major is in many ways more important than the school you attend. Biology is the most common major, but other majors have better acceptance rates. If you chose Chem E, than I would say Cal is a great place to get your BS.

Good luck!🙂

Berkeley is great. I loved it, and I don't have any reason to believe I should have gone anywhere else. It's strong in a ton of areas so if Bio/Chem aren't your tea, major in something else. It's all good there.

One thing I do have to say is that med school adcoms don't really take the deflated Berkeley GPA into consideration. They don't say "Well, a B at Berkeley is like an A at another school," or anything like that. So if you want to go to a top tier med school but you aren't sure you can make the grades at Cal, you might want to reconsider. Or take something kinda BS like Ethnic Studies as your major. (Haha, I just had to get a twLF joke in there!)

Good luck
